About Patrick

Professor Patrick Miller serves as a Professor in the School of Biology at the University of St Andrews. He holds affiliations with the Sea Mammal Research Unit, Scottish Oceans Institute, Institute of Behavioural and Neural Sciences, Centre for Social Learning & Cognitive Evolution, Bioacoustics group, and the Marine Alliance for Science & Technology Scotland. Miller's research centers on the communication and behavioural ecology of marine mammals. He records and describes behaviour patterns to understand their function and examines how aquatic environments influence behaviour and physiology. Employing advanced tools such as hydrophone arrays to identify calling individuals within whale groups and animal-attached tags, his investigations focus on the effects of anthropogenic underwater noise on cetacean behaviour, including assessments of potential long-term harm from disturbances. This research contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals including SDG 14 (Life Below Water), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being).
